Clunking Noises Coming From The Clutch On My B King

[rubbersidedown]

I hope its nothing serious. I'll pull the lid off today. Wish me luck.

It lets out a few clunks on low speed take offs. Sorta sounds and feels like the old Suzuki clutches when the hub nut used to come loose.

Maybe I shouldn't have nicknamed her "Susan". Her nutz may be coming loose.

I bet it's the oil Andy... it was quiet on the p/o's Rotella but I switched it to Motul 5100 semi-synth and it was noisy (and slightly grabby) ever since. Think I learned my lesson? Just put 5100 into your old Busa... clutch plates clatter in the basket like an ancient Ducati on cold start-up now. Going back to good old dead dinosaurs next oil change...

I think there was a re call or bulletin for 07-08 clutch bolts that needed checking/ tightening.
